pickSo grateful not to have grown up a girl in East Texas in the 1970s. So grateful Mary Karr did. Her voice cuts through the teenage wasteland, drilling through the mist of sex, drugs, and confusion to emerge with the story of a young woman trying to find her place in the world and a sense of self.
Here‘s the problem with memoirs: events are limited to reality and I don‘t know you, so why do I care?
